IS 14612 : 1999 Indian Standard COMMERCIAL BURNERS USING LPG AT INLET PRESSURE UP TO 147.1 k-N/m2 (1 500 gf/cm2) - SPECIFICATION ICS 27.060.10 0 BIS 1999 BUREAU MANAK OF BHAVAN, INDIAN STANDARDS ZAFAR MARG 9 BAHADUR SHAH NEW DELHI 110002 February 1999 Price Group 4 Domestic and Commercial Gas Burning Appliances (Pressure Type) Sectional Committee, HMD 23 FOREWORD This Indian Standard was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized by the Domestic and Commercial Gas Burning Appliances (Pressure Type) Sectional Committee had been approved by the Heavy Mechanical Engineering Division Council. Liquefied petroleum gases are usually classified as butane, propane and butane-propane mixtures. The burners covered by this specification can be operated on butane, propane and butane-propane mixtures. This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards on various domestic and commercial gas burning appliances (pressure type), used with LPG. For ease of reference tliis standard has been divided into three sections as follows: Section Section Section The relevant 1 2 3 Construction Performance General conversion factors are given below for guidance: SI units and corresponding 1 kg/cm2 = 0.98 bar = 98.066 5 kN/m2 = 14.22 psi 1 Pa = 1 N/m* 1 kgf/mm* = 9.806 65 MPa For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 `Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)`. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. IS 14612 : 1999 Indian Standard COMMERCIAL BURNERS USING LPG AT INLET PRESSURE UP TO 147.1 kN/m2 (1500 gf/cm2) - SPECIFICATION 1 SCOPE This standard specifies construction and methods of test, for burners used by commercial catering organisations, using LPG at inlet pressures up to 147.100 kN/m* (1 500 gf/cm2). For the pu ose of this standard flow rate of all burners shall be 7 eclared at a pressure of 34.323 kN/mZ (0.35 kgf/cm*). 2 REFERENCES The Indian Standards listed adjuncts to this standard: IS No. 319: 1989 below Title Free cutting brass, rods and sections (fourth revision) Dimensions for pipe threads where pressure tight joints are made on threads S ecification for water for general laK oratory use (second revision) Method for mercurous nitrate test for copper and copper alloys Cfirst revision) IS0 metric threads are necessary NOTES Normally, the burners are rated at a pressure of 5 psi (34.323 kN/m* or 0.35 kgticn?). The flow rate of burner shah be declamd at this pressure. The thermal efficiency test shall be carried out at this pressure, though the burner is capable of operating up to 1 500 gf/cm*. The pretix `T' stands for torch type and the flame of this type would be longer (see Fig. I). The prefix `M' stands for `Mnrgucrire' and these burners produce a spreading flame in the form of a flat annular disc round the burner head (see Fig. 2). The prefix `V' stands for its shape and these burners are linear and used horizontally. The `V' type burner flame impinches on the bottom of a vessel or plate at an angle of approximately 4S' (see Fig. 3). The number following this prefix is the weight of the gas in pounds that would be flowing through the burner at 5 psi (0.35 kgYcma). The above nomenclature is in use in the country and had been adopted as such. The figures 22.35.50 and 78 mentioned after T and M am related to the gas consumption rate of the burner in kg/h at 1 500 efIcmz [Maximum oneratinn oressure). For examole, T-22 &ans a torch type burner whiihgives a gas consumption of 2.2 kg/h at 147.100 kN/m2 (1 500 gf/cm2). Gas burning rate of `V' type burners of any length-shall be 1.5 kg/h at a pressu~ of 0.35 kgt7cmz. 554 : 1985 1070: 1977 2305 : 1988 SECTION 1 CONSTRUCTION 5 GENERAL 5.1 The construction of all the parts of the burners shall be sound and of high standard of workmanship and appropriate finish.

The location of the burner relative to neighbouring walls and the direction of the draught shall be varied to correspond to likely conditions of burner installation. This shall apply for all inlet pressures of 80, 100 and 120 percent of the rated inlet pressure. 22 COMBUSTION 16.2 The flow through the injector jet(s) at the normal pressure rating of the burner shall be measured with a gas flow meter using compressed air (free from oiY impurities) at room temperature and pressure. This value shall be converted to flow rate at 27 Oc and 760 mm of Hg. Thereafter using 0.75 as multiplying factor, the value of air flow shall be converted to flow of LPG at 27 OC and 760 mm of Hg. NOTE - 16.1 Burner shall permit a gas flow within +lO percent of the manufacturer's declared gas consumption in kg/ h when tested according to 16.2. For the above test, one litre of LF'G= 2.46 g.

The burner flame shall be ignited while the inlet pressure is maintained at 80 percent of the rated pressure. Water may be added, if required to maintain the level. Gas rate recommended by the manufacturer shall be maintained for half an hour after which the gas input shall be reduced to 75 percent of the full gas rate and then brought back to the full gas rate. The operation shall be repeated five times. No flash back shall occur during the test. 20 FORMATION OF SOOT 23.1When tested as specified in Annex B, the thermal efficiency of different type of burners shall meet the following values: Sl No. Type Minimum Eficiency percent 45 38 35 3s 38 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The burner shall be ignited with the gas flow maintained at the full gas rate. Water may be added, if required to maintain the level. After one hour, no soot (unburnt carbon) shall have been deposited on the bottom of the vessel. This shall apply for inlet pressures of 80 and 120 percent of the rated inlet pressure. 4 24.1 Each burner shall be legibly and clearly marked with the following: 4 Manufacturer's trade-mark; name, initials or registered b) Rated pressure in kN/m* (gf/cm*); in g/h at rated cl Rated gas pressure; consumption IS 14612 : 1999 d) Batch No; e>The words `for use with LPG'; in 23.1. and f) Declared thermal efficiency, than specified if it is higher 24.2.1 The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1986 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder. The details of conditions under which the licence for the use of Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards. 25 PACKING 25.1 The method for packing shall be such as to minimize the damage to the burner in transit. 25.1.1 All open ends and connection openings shall be suitably plugged, and sealed to prevent the entry of extraneous matter. X1.1 The information given in 24.1 shall be distinct, permanent and easily accessible when the burner is assembled to an appliance, which is installed as it would be in service. 24.2 BIS Certification Marking The burners may also be marked with Standard Mark. ANNEX A (Chye 6.3) METHOD A-l FOR DETERMINATION OF SWELLING OF NON-METALLIC MATERIALS PROCEDURE A-l.1 Weigh a piece of material under examination in air and then in water; and calculate the volume. Thereafter, immerse in pentane for 72 h at room temperature. In case liquid pentane is not available, immerse the piece in LPG in a sealed container capable of withstanding the vapour pressure of LP gas to be expected. After 72 h, withdraw the sample and allow to weather in air for 5 min and reweigh in air and water for estimation of volume. In case of loss of weight, care shall be taken not to confuse it with the removal of small bits of grease, which may have been present in the sample under test. If this is suspected, perform the test on two samples, wash one of them for a few minutes in liquid pentane before commencing the test. If deterioration in the properties of the compound are suspected as a result of loss of weight, then dismantle all the components, subject them to the test as described above and then reassemble and test for operation in the usual way. ANNEX B (Clause 23.1) THERMAL B-l PROCEDURE EFFICIENCY TEST out of B-l.1 The test shall be carried out by weighing the gas used. The gas shall be taken from standard supply LPG cylinder for domestic or commercial use.

Where only one cylinder is required, an adaptor shall be fitted to the cylinder valve. An `ON/OFF' valve shall be fitted downstream of the adaptor. This valve shall be positioned as near the adaptor as possible. A pressure regulator shall be fitted downstream of the valve. Where more than one cylinder manifold shall be provided. is required a cylinder burner inlet pressure. Tests shall be carried for the gas burning rate at a gas pressure 34.323 kNlmZ (0.35 kgf/cm*).
